HTC Shift UMPC pricing and availability confirmed for Orange network

After a lengthy delay, the HTC Shift’s pricing and availability has finally been confirmed. Exclusive to Orange, it was first shown at the Touch Dual launch in October.

Available from the end of next week, it will be priced at £999 upfront, plus a data tariff contract with Orange, minimum of 12 months.

We’ve had the opportunity to play with the Shift several times now, most recently today, and each time it’s an absolute pleasure to use. It offers both Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows Mobile, with HSDPA to ensure all your business needs are met quickly, and with ease.

30GB of storage capacity, an inbuilt fingerprint sensor, and full Windows Vista programs, it weighs just 800g and features a 7″ screen.
